3From the computer source, display an all-black picture. This must come from the computer source that will be used for the program. We suggest you display a black screen using the Windows Paint program.

Note: Black Level must be done before White Level.

4In the INPUT LEVELS menu, select AUTO BLACK LEVEL and press ENTER. This menu line says “Working…” until the process is complete.

Note: When doing Auto Black and Auto White with an interlaced analog input, the color of the picture will change while it is working and then will change back to normal.

5From the computer source, display an all-white picture.

6In the INPUT LEVELS menu select AUTO WHITE LEVEL and press ENTER. Wait for “Working…” to disappear.

The display is now adjusted to the black and white levels of this computer using this video card. If you change computers or video output cards in the computer, you must do this again.

7Although it is not required, we recommend that you save the configuration to a memory slot. (See "Saving Configurations" on page 74.)

8If you have more than one source coming through the same connector, adjust Input Levels for each source.
